Having done the same thing more than once, I assure you that a new leaf will
come. And I do hope your crown doesn't rot, because hairpieces are hot and
uncomfortable in the Summer.

Subject: Now I've Done It!

Look what I've done! I was repotting a Phal today, and Frank was watching.
I mentioned that the new center leaf is very delicate at this stage. Then -
I snapped it off. I can't believe I did it. Have never done this before.
It seems like such a rudimentary question, and I think I know the answer,
but I need reassurance. Please tell me that another leaf will grow anyway?
Please?

As punishment, I am going to stand in the rain, which is currently
substantial, until my crown rots. Yeesh.
